I never updated after the suspension install! :o

When I got the struts, damn good price for the four of them too.



I added about 1.5" of spacer to the rear lower spring perch, in order to remain at a level ride height with a loaded trunk. the only issue was with these h&R's they didnt fit properly on the lower perch like the OE springs did. They are about 1/4" wider overall.. It hasn't affected anything though.







With my skeleton load in the trunk it rides about 1/2-3/4" higher in the rear, perfect!



Had to work a Saturday, so I stripped the interior out and did a full on detail. Hellz yeah getting paid to work on my own shiz

Welcome back to myself.

Check this one out guys! I had some wetness around the #1 injector.. so I decided after soap'n'watering it that I had a compression leak there of sorts. Didn't show on my compression test a month back, musn't be a huge issue. The compressions test yielded 410-420psi across the board. Not bad for a non-rebuilt AHU with over 500k on it eh? Anyway I pulled the #1 and this is what I found.. I then pulled the rest and tested




So I rigged up a spray pattern tester ;)



Click this link for a video of what is pictured above! ;)

How do you guys feel about that spray pattern? All 4 sprayed this way.. but I feel like this was more than likely my issue with the bad bluing smoke at idle i've been having most of the winter.. Cylinder temps too cold causing severe carbon deposits? What causes this anyhow?

Looks okay to me.  What don't you like about that spray pattern?  Don't forget that the injection pump puts out way more fuel while cranking then at idle.  The build up on the nozzles looks like oil to me.  Could be coming from several sources.  Valve stem seals, turbo, oil control rings, even excessive crankcase pressure.  I know you said your compression is good that doesn't rule out any of the issues I listed.  Excessive crankcase pressure can also be caused by a bad vacuum leak since the vacuum pump exhausts into the crankcase.

Well that spraying was after I cleaned off a lot of snarf.. I meant like the holes were completely surrounded by carbon, so likely when installed they were not spraying properly.. thus my blue smoke at idle issue.

I do have a lot of oil in the CCV system and have a catch can I haven't installed yet. Guess now is the time! I will check my vacuum pump lead to the booster as well.

I figured the spray was after cleaning but was really looking for the pre clean shot.  Must have been a straight stream off to one side I bet.  Issue is cold temps or low head temps?  Can't remember if you run a heater at night or not.  Like you say build up over time till one day she smokes like a sailor and cusses a blue streak like the same.

Only thought so far.

Good day. I noticed that you have upgraded the suspension of your vehicle but I can't view the photos you have uploaded from Photobucket. Can you suggest where to buy lift kits 4 less or recommend where you bought yours?

I shopped and called around a bunch of places and finally settled on this kit.  For a Jeep Cherokee, it is the same sized axle as the VW pickup. 

Purchase details  Purchased from: SDTruckSprings.com

Lift Block Kit - 1987-2001 Jeep Cherokee 4wd (w/2.75 axle) - 3 inch Blocks [7863]    $50.95
Item #97086   http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=7863

I thought I wanted 3 inch blocks between the axle and the springs.  That was a bit aggressive, I should have gone 2 inches.  But the tailgate in now above my knee caps and I think I measured it at 21 or 22 inches off the ground.  I can check that in the light of day if you want a for sure height. If you want less than 3 inches you need to order the Ubolts in one place and the blocks on another.  They don't have a kit for that vehicle in 2 inches.   

The kit came with Ubolts that were about 2 inches longer than I needed so I cut 1.5 inches off when I was installing them.  I also had to enlarge the hold down plate holes just a tad as the diameter was tight too.  But they did fit.  I don't have to use a jack anymore to crawl under it and the rear end isn't dragging on the ground with the bed completely empty.  I can load the crap out of the pickup now except it lacks power not having a turbo on it.
